Irrelevant Jack

Prax Venter

B67/100
Jack is violently pulled into a game-like universe and dumped into a seaside town on the brink of destruction. When the people of Blackmoor Cove ask about his combat role, Jack discovers his odd Hero Class and finds that parts of his game interface are riddled with exposed coding errors. The only way the town can grow and push back the unknown substance threatening to consume it is if Heroes venture into an infinitely high, ever-changing tower, kill bizarre monsters for their equipment drops, and deposit those items into a special chest. As Jack struggles to level up and help save the people he's grown to care for, he learns the true nature of this simulated world — and his destiny.

Journey to Veresavir

Rhaegar

B67/100
Veron was fed up with his corporate job in Paris. He quit and moved to the countryside to take a breath and reconsider his path. When he spots a hazy glowing bird of light in the forest and decides to follow it, he receives an offer unlike anything he could have imagined — not a demon king to slay, no rebellion to lead, nor gods looking for a pawn. Simply an adventure. Sent to Renavor, a mountainous valley on the brink of change, Veron arrives alone with magic he is only beginning to wield. Ancient dungeon relics are being unearthed, and beasts of blood and chaos lurk in the dark. Shelter comes first — and then he can figure out the rest.

Cursed Relic Collector

Maradina

B67/100
For thousands of years, magic has been obtained through trades with the gods: sacrifice magic materials upon their sacred altars, and the gods offer relics in return. But this world of powerful relics has always been far out of reach for Dain, a simple trinket merchant — until masked cultists try to sacrifice him to the gods. Vowing revenge, Dain commits the ultimate taboo: creating his own altar. Only, he accidentally creates one for a god who shouldn't exist — a god that will only trade him cursed relics. Dain will scour the world, hunt magic beasts, and barter their remains for greater and darker relics as he digs deeper into the ancient schemes behind the cultists who tried to destroy him.

Mahael the Divine

Robert Blaise

B67/100
Humanity lost an ancient interdimensional war. Now demons, commanded by devil overlords, are exterminating human existence. In a final act of desperation, angels banish a lone world into a starless, lifeless corner of the universe — just out of demonic reach. All they need is a selfless soul willing to become the Final Guardian: an entity whose entire existence is devoted to postponing humanity's end. They get a volunteer. He is no saint. Sadly for the demons, he is something far worse. Every time he dies, he revives. Every time he aids humanity, he grows stronger. There is no winning against an infinitely vast demon army — but he just might be crazy enough to keep losing indefinitely.

The Sect Leader System

bwfoster78

B67/100
After meeting Truck-kun, Benton — a grandfather and an overall nice man — is transmigrated into the body of Chao Su in a brutal, might-makes-right cultivation world. His career in middle management gives him ample experience leading people, and those skills should translate to running a sect. Unfortunately, things aren't that simple. Benton quickly realizes that his plan to let his recruits fight for him won't work. He'll need to get up to speed on life in a cultivation world fast, because danger is on the way: a beast tide threatens his new territory, rival sects don't like the balance of power being upset, and the demonic cultivators that destroyed Chao Su's prior sect are still out there. The MC cannot cultivate himself and advances through cultivation realms by earning points from the System, treating his sect members like a doting grandfather rather than a typical Xianxia protagonist.

Saga of the Soul Dungeon

AJFoxmoor

B67/100
When Caden dies in an accidental fall, he is merged with a dungeon core in another world. He's not particularly happy to be dead, so resurrection in any form isn't too bad. The real problem? The dungeon core wasn't dead, and he has to share mind-space with it. That doesn't even account for the powerful wizard who is understandably reluctant to let a dungeon escape. And even once he manages to escape, he must found and manage a dungeon in a location fraught with complications: it sits on the border of two rival human nations, a sentient plant race claims the ground as sacred, and teams of adventurers keep wandering in looking for a living. Through it all, Caden is determined not to lose his humanity and become just another murder-hobo dungeon.

Too Stubborn to Die

B. F. Huups, Sir Bedivere the Mad

B66/100

A goddess takes pity and resurrects him, but the only place she can send him is the Shadow Trials — a special dimension designed for the prodigies of each new universe.
